“…Thus, their knowledge and skills directly affect the care and education of the patients [13] and patient satisfaction [14,15]. Nurses who perceive themselves to have high competence and a favourable perception of the ostomy patient were found to have had significantly more education [15].…”

IntroductionIn June 2012, the Ministry of Health with the Department of Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo conducted the first certificate course in stoma therapy for nurses in Sri Lanka.We aim to evaluate the success of the course in enhancing the knowledge and skills of the participants. MethodsWe evaluated 15 domains of patient care in the 61 participants using a self-administered validated questionnaire administered before the onset and after completion of the course. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. ResultsOf the 61, 37 (60.6%) were females. The mean age was 31.5 (SD±5.5) years. All 15 domains of patient care had improved at the end of the program. The biggest increase was seen in staff confidence category. The 3 domains that had the biggest improvement were; confidence to select different appliances to suit different conditions (90% improvement in score), having material for proper patient teaching (88.6%) and confidence in educating patients (77.6%). There were no statistically significant correlation between age, gender or years in nursing and the improvement in any of the measured domains. ConclusionThe program was successful in allowing the participants to function independently. It was conducted with local resource personnel and minimal cost.

“…3,17 Challenges arise from the discovery of the diagnosis until adaptation to new living conditions after discharge and rehabilitation can be a difficult process. 7 The category also showed that becoming a person with a stoma brought the need to develop skills to maintain both the stoma and the pouch system. The person can be distressed by the need to care for the body in this new conformation.…”

“…6 The difficulties faced by people beginning with the discovery of the cancer diagnosis, stoma construction, and the acceptance of the experienced situation, show that the impact of these factors is indicative of the actual complexity and difficulty of their process of rehabilitation. 7 In this context, nurses play an important role in this changing process of the person living with a stoma, due to their scientific knowledge and because of their involvement beginning at diagnosis, going through the pre-and post-operative periods, and during follow-up of this person in the outpatient clinic, or even by means of health educational activities and the promotion of self-care. 8 Therefore, concerns about how to assist these people holistically arise in coping with their daily lives, in light of their different ages, diseases, experiences, subjectivities, feelings and cultures.…”

ABSTRACT:A descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aimed to identify the repercussions of ostomy construction on the living process of people with an ostomy. The study was performed at a Stomatherapy Service from a university hospital in southern Brazil, in the first semester of 2011, with eight patients. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, and they were analyzed by thematic analysis. We found that the surgery happened to prevent patient deaths. Patients presented themselves as disheartened, angry, sad, having doubts, and they sought to keep the ostomy a secret. They were concerned with the acquisition of resources for self-care. They may present complications and experience embarrassing situations because of the stoma. However, they perceived that they could live with a stoma and regain joy. We concluded that they were able to reframe their lives. We highlight the role of nurses, enabling them for self-care, constituting part of their social support network, helping them to become able to live independently. DESCRIPTORS:Ostomy. Psychosocial impact. Adaptation. Nursing. REPERCUSSÕES NO PROCESSO DE VIVER DA PESSOA COM ESTOMARESUMO: Estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, que objetivou conhecer as repercussões da estomização no processo de viver de pessoas com estoma. Este estudo foi realizado em um serviço de estomaterapia de um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil, no primeiro semestre de 2011, com oito pessoas estomizadas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados pela análise temática. Evidenciou-se que a cirurgia ocorreu, geralmente, para evitar sua morte. Os pacientes apresentavam-se abatidos, revoltados, tristes e com dúvidas, buscando manter a estomização em segredo. Preocupavam-se com a aquisição dos recursos para seu autocuidado. Podiam apresentar complicações e vivenciar situações constrangedoras relativas ao estoma. No entanto, após adaptados, percebiam que era possível viver com o estoma, recuperando a alegria. Chegou-se à conclusão que eles eram capazes de (re)significar seu viver. Destacou-se o papel da enfermagem, habilitando-os para seu autocuidado, constituindo sua rede de apoio social e auxiliando-os a se tornarem autônomos no seu viver. DESCRITORES:Estomia.
